Funny. All of that pent up aggression from one little sentence of truth. It doesn't matter what one knows or doesn't know about the boots, or how much artisinal semen was pumped into them. Those boots look like the ultimate minimalistic design of Jimmy Dean.

Lol @ moo talking abt overreaction due to one little sentence of truth

It's not just that one comment, it's countless rapid-fire posts of uninformative drivel and pictures quoted from 3 posts above filling page after page of oh-not-so-precious server space so that the ignore function isn't useful any longer as it's equally burdersome to scroll past a million times.

Anyway I don't dislike him and highly doubt he's trying to present himself as any sort of authoritative figure here (he'd have to be insane if he thought what he regurgitates is genuine knowledge) but rather is trying to be helpful. Only problem is he's a bit slow (and sucks a teh maths) and may or may not be moo's sockpuppet given their predictably sequential posts...

Right... because we're the ones following you and shah around from thread to thread posting barbs and personal jabs to everything you guys post, right?

I mean, it really is incredible... perfect example... sinned posts an opinion, some guy randomly goes off on him, and then shah comes in out of nowhere and calls sinned slow, a sock puppet, etc... but prefaces all of that with "I don't dislike the guy" - give me a break. When is the last time sinned randomly attacked you for anything, shah?Edited by Mr. Moo - 11/29/12 at 11:25am

I dunno about this time, but the last time I went off on him was because he claimed that unrevealed sources have confirmed to him that CCP and Augusta are made in house.

That's not an opinion. That's disinformation. If he had presented it as "Some folks had told me this, but I don't know if its true or not" then it's more clearly simply a theory rather than confirmed truth. Thankfully Fuuma came in and cleared up the misconception.

Why him doing this bothers me so much is because this is how baseless hype gets started. Some idiot newbs show up to the thread and read what he writes that shit spreads and it's impossible to completely unring that bell no matter how many Fuumas show up. Just like with any other baseless rumor.

That's probably why folks look at him as a cancer to this thread. If he relayed unsubstantiated information in a less authoritative tone I think people would chill out.

I'm fairly certain that "this shoe is ugly" is an opinion. I am not talking about past posts, and my post above was only referring to the post that sinned made about the shoes being ugly, and then having someone tell him that he's wrong because the shoe was created by the lord and savior himself. What does the construction - whatever it may be like, and how good or bad it may be - have to do with saying "this is an ugly shoe"? You don't need to be informed about anything to be able to say that you don't like how it looks, and this was what sinned was ultimately jumped for by whatever that guy's name is and shah.

i know handmade in your eyes has to be carol hammering in the nails himself, however, handmade can be any artisan used by the designer.

that said i want to point to you that i am never an ass to others the way they are to me and all i said was a shoe was ugly and it is and some dude over reacted emotionally and people jumped on my.

Let's be clear. Handmade does not ALWAYS mean made in-house. It sometimes means not made in house. It can sometimes mean made in-house. Kiton makes all of their shoes in-house. They are handmade. St. Crispin also does this. I cannot speak to SWD brands doing this.

Don't be a smartass.

Seriously, you want to have an argument about this?
